Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) officially opened its newest facility last week dedicated to expanding early childhood program access for young learners. In an Aug. 24 ribbon-cutting ceremony, CCPS staff was joined by elected officials, teachers, students and College of Southern Maryland (CSM) representatives to celebrate the opening of the new Early Learning Center, La Plata, located at the CSM La Plata Campus.
Next Monday, Aug. 28, some 28,000 Charles County students will say goodbye to summer and hello to backpacks, pencils and homework as the new school year gets underway.
As state-mandated pre-K requirements close in, the Maryland State Board of Education on July 25 discussed how to ensure some families are not slammed by tuition costs.
